“The passengers will have some great views of the new Champlain Bridge from the lake,” Sprague continued.

“Capt. Ferris will give us a good cruise. He’ll also do narration on the history of the lake and its geology.”

The boat will head north by historic Camp Dudley in Westport, a summer camp for boys established after the Civil War, and on to Barn Rock and The Palisades.

Continuing along the New York shore, the Escape will stop in Snake Den Harbor to see an eagle’s nest, then at the site of the former iron mines in Ore Bed Harbor.

Following that, the ship will continue to Split Rock Point, then turn around to cruise by Diamond Island, on down the lake near Basin Harbor, and south along the Vermont shore past Button Bay and Hospital Creek.
